How to Strip a Floor Thoroughly Using
​Simix Cleaner or Degreaser as a Stripping Boost

When you are using Simix Ceramic Floor Coating, you need to strip the floors as thoroughly as possible. That is why we recommend that you use Simix Multi-Surface Cleaner or Simix Kitchen Degreaser with your commercial stripper as a Stripping Boost.
We recommend that you start by cleaning the floors with Simix Kitchen Degreaser first to remove the grime and pH neutral residue that slows down your stripper.
 COMMERCIAL STRIPPER + SIMIX as STRIPPING BOOST
  1. Mix commercial stripping solution following the instructions precisely. Hotter the water, better the result.
  2. Mix one large scoop of Simix Cleaner or Degreaser into every 4 gallons of commercial stripping solution for an added Stripping Boost.
  3. Spread stripper and Simix solution on floor.
  4. If you have factory finish, allow 10 minutes of dwell time.
  5. Add one small scoop of Simix Cleaner or Degreaser per 5 gallons of water in your autoscrubber. 
  6. Install black stripping pad or stripping brush on your autoscrubber or floor buffer.
  7. Strip as you normally do.
  8. Simix will make your stripper dry faster than usual because it’s working more quickly. Do not let the stripping solution dry. Run your autoscrubber every 20 minutes with full pressure, full water at medium speed with gate up making at least one pass.
  9. Make sure someone spreads the solution back over the floor. Keep the floor wet at all times.
  10. Scrub and suck up the stripping solution. Make several passes.
  11. If there are still areas of wax, keep stripping until you are 100% sure that all coats and residue are removed.
​ NEXT: FINAL RINSE WITH SIMIX DEGREASER
  1. Mix one small scoop of Simix Kitchen Degreaser per 5 gallons of water in autoscrubber.
  1. Put the 800 diamond grit burnishing pad on your auto scrubber or floor buffer.
  1. Scrub the floors at high water, high pressure, and medium speed with the gate down.
  2. Make two or three passes.
  3. Keep scrubbing until water is virtually clear with no suds. And the floor is smooth to the touch.
  4. Final rinse with a red pad. Make two passes.
  NEXT: CHECK YOUR WORK
  1. Go over the floors with a clean damp mop.
  2. Use a fan to help floors dry.
  3. Make absolutely sure there is no floor finish residue. There should not be any dark or shiny spots along the edges.
